I'm trying to get my sister to read "The Great Gatsby" so she can watch the movie together with me and my brother but she's stalling on getting the book. I'll have to buy it for her and staple it to her hands.

They're making a new movie? wtf, F. Scott Fitzgerald must be pissed.

But yeah, everybody needs to read that book. If only everyone had somebody as responsible as you in their lives, the world might be a better place.

Also of note would be several of Shakespeare's works, which I don't completely enjoy because of the dry dialogue (I don't enjoy reading anything in older variants of English, it's way too grating to me), but they do have good plots.

and the guy who made Kylie Minogue as The Green Fairy and Ozzy Osbourne as her laugh.
You seen any other movies by him? I heard things about his other movie as well.

That's the only one I've seen.

The whole "everyone talks in old English despite living in modern times" thing was kind of awkward, it's hard to take a movie seriously when everyone sounds like they're doing a bad old English imitation.

Romo is part of his The Red Curtain Trilogy. Strictly Ballroom and Moulin Rouge! are the other two. The only movie I really seen by him is a bit of Australia.
